The Wolf Pack basketball team looked dead in the water following a home loss to San Jose State, which had been 0-13 in Mountain West play, on Feb. 18, extending Nevada's season-worst losing streak to five.

But an 83-81 double-overtime victory at Boise State on Wednesday night, its second in three games, has restored confidence and momentum and has put the Wolf Pack one win away from the No. 3 seed in next week's MWC Tournament at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
